Great location. Close to Paddington Station with trains and Underground. Staff, Oumaima and Johanes, were very helpful at 12am when I lost my cellphone. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed having a kettle to make tea or coffee in the morning. Was easy to get to Heathrow Airport from Paddington Station. Would highly recommend this hotel. Judy from Canada

The room was very spacious and had a clean feel to it. Since it was a little away from the busy area, it was very quiet and I was able to rest well. The only downside was that the drainage in the room didn’t seem very good. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay.

First of all, communication can be done through WhatsApp once checked in, which is an introvert's dream come true, not having to speak with anyone. The hotel is conveniently located near Paddington Station. There are places to eat within a short walk of the hotel. Daily house cleaning available and free water on request. The only thing I did seem impractical was that the showers and sink was in one room and the toilet was in another room, it was odd. Staff was lovely and helpful
